Private lessons for individual adults, children and teens, as well as paired lessons for spouses, siblings and parent/child for Mechanicsville!
Mechanicsville is an unincorporated community located within Readington Township in Hunterdon County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. It is located along present day US Route 22, just east of Whitehouse near the intersection of Lamington Road. The hamlet once had a tavern, a store, numerous mechanic shops as well as a number of residences. As Whitehouse and Mechanicsville lost many of the businesses along the main road, the two hamlets eventually merged. The Whitehouse General Store, the East Whitehouse Fire Department and the Whitehouse United Methodist Church are in the section of Whitehouse that used to be Mechanicsville. The Ryland Inn was located in this section of Whitehouse.
The Whitehouse–Mechanicsville Historic District, which includes historic places in both Whitehouse and Mechanicsville, was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 17, 2015.
If you are in the Mechanicsville area and interested in learning to play guitar (or learning to play better) I’m here to help!
If you play a bit already, you’re probably interested in playing a particular song or songs. We’ll choose one and break it down into manageable sections, getting it one piece at a time and at a comfortable speed for you. I’ll help you figure out any parts you’re having trouble with and offer suggestions for exercises that will help you overcome that problem. Timing, strumming, arpeggios, playing melody over chord changes, playing lead as well as rhythm guitar are all subjects we can focus on. I will also often create a custom video with supporting materials for your song specifically. I also offer ukulele lessons and I have loaner guitars and ukuleles to beginning students for a nominal fee.
The in-person lessons will often include a video which addresses specific problems you might be having and the video on this page is an example of that. You can subscribe to my video channel by clicking the “paul elwood guitar coach” logo on the lower right corner of the video.
